I believe Yamato will officially be known as the Quartermaster of the Straw Hat Pirates. A person who handles journals and documents every treasure that is looted on the voyage. Since she already carries Oden's journal, she is perfect for this job.

I have a strong feeling that Yamato is going to be the journal/story keeper for the Straw Hat Pirates. Much like Oden did for both the Whitebeard and Roger Pirates.

I can’t wait to see what O’Hara will say after Chapter 1057.

Yamato stopping her declare herself as Oden could kind of be the New World version of Usopp realizing he does not be Sogeking. The things he did and stood for as Sogeking are all things he can do as himself.

I love Yamato’s design, and I love her personality. And I’m looking forward to see if or how she changes as she sails with them.

Already can imagine her dynamic with luffy usopp and chopper. While she is surprisingly also have a good dynamic with every single straw hat just because her character design alone. But the comedy skit she'll have with all the crew is something I just can't wait to savour for the rest of this beautiful journey

3:52 THISSS!!! There’s something about her joining the crew that’s both exciting but almost nostalgic at the same time! It really does remind me of pre-time skip. I love Jinbei but it took such a long time for him to finally join up with them, and by the time he does, he is already a familiar figure to them. Yamato joining brings about new excitement and possibilities in terms of their dynamic as a crew.

Apoo wanted to desperately recruit Yamato to his crew (to increase his kudos)....he was taking pictures of CPO and the battlefield itself...he surely has Yamato pictures.He has been selling pictures to Big News Morgan....an exclusive picture of Yamato will earn her own Wanted Poster! ( Wanted Dead or Alive... Kaido's daughter, The Oni Princess, Yamato !)

As a fellow Yamato enthusiast since day 1, I can wholeheartedly agree it's been a LONG time coming. I truly can't wait the glorious shenanigans, hilarious tidbits and awesome battles to follow with the new SH member on board!

you cannot say its official until oda says so. you are not his brain lol

Love how this and everyone’s thoughts aged

I fell in love with Yamato right away, everything about her was done great by Oda. She's funny, cute, powerful, naive/innocent, brave and has so much potential for growth and character development. I can't wait to see interactions between her and the rest of the crew.

Reasons to be excited about the raid finally being over: 1. Yamato joining the crew 2. Bounty updates 3. Beginning of a new journey Future is looking bright!

I've always had a feeling that Yamato would possibly join the crew and the thing is, it was mainly due to the fact that in some ways something about her character felt a little familiar. At one point I went back through the series to try and find out why and the whole thing clicked for me it's the Straw Hats. Think about it personality wise she has a giddy and curios nature like Ussop and Chopper such as when she saw General Franky for the first time. Backstories wise she had more in common with the girls who had ties to the enemy captain of the crew Nami with Arlong and Robin with Crocodile, but it was also combined with Ussop and Franky who were the children of pirates. Introduction wise was similar to Sanji and Brook who either chose to stay in one place out of a sense of duty or because they had no choice in this case both. There were also some other minor details that helped to in regarding age, fighting style, devil fruit type and also just the fact that she's semi human. If you find that odd for me to say it was mainly because most of the crew was made up of 1 half normal humans and 1 half semi humans.

Came here to say SIGH You got played AGAIN.

Yamato being there could only unlock more answers to some mysteries. Oden's diary and Robin's knowledge could be a very important collaboration

Yamato will be a valued member of The Straw Hats

Common Ohara L

Yamato's addition to the Straw Hats is going to make me actually look forward to the Post Wano Filler Arc the Anime will most likely be doing. It's going to be enjoying watching her and Jimbei hang out with with everyone in the crew as actual members.

I have been so hyped for this, and personally believe that Yamato could have an amazing arc of finding who she really is. That could be a guy, that could be a girl, or something else but it could allow for her to really shine as a character. That development is something that could really sort of mirror Robin in the fact that robin didn't really know why she was alive, but through her adventures with the crew, she learned what she really wanted to do which was in her case to live (with the Straw hats). Also thanks for bringing us all of this amazing content. I'm sure that so many of us in the one piece community really appreciate and enjoy your (and other channels such as Grand Line Review or tekking101 etc.) as a way to explore the one piece world and expand our imagination. Thanks for everything and we hope you keep up your amazing work. (yamato's also best girl imo)

In terms of marketing and product sales, Yamato is TOO good to pass up not having around for longer. Our Oni deserves to be on the crew!

Just finished one piece and all I can say is that that was a trip (Also I personally think luffys not going to let Oden on the ship, he's probably going to say that he wants Yamato instead.)

Yamato and Luffy are just beginning to understand their mythical zoans, separately they are on different progressions of their devil fruit journey. But together their is a lot of new moves and abilitys that will probably be introduced to us in fights at Elbaf, Mariejo etc.. Super pumped for those reveals!

Probably the first time I'm THIS hyped for a new Strawhat to join!

I'll be like Jinbe and wait for Captain's orders

This aged beautifully

We realy need two or three chapters with the straw hats just being together and see their dynamic Yamato AND jimbey are both new to the crew/the audience

I need the scene where yamato sits on the sunny's head as their about to take off to sea only for luffy to yell at her for "being in the captains spot" and her protest and they get into a fight lol

If yamato joins i would like a parallel where Straw Hats meet the Red Hair Pirates and Yamato starts first attack on shanks and shanks use roger's same technique to fend her off Edit: 😅😢

I have a strong feeling according to Jinbe's comment and the fact that Yamato declared becoming a Straw hat by herself, that it's actually another trick from Oda, and Luffy himself will reject her joining the crew, maybe asking her to stay and defend Wano and Momo from the government for example. This is highly unlikely to happen, but still feels different compared to the other Straw hats joining the crew.

Y’all expected the Dennies Lobby guy to win 😂

I would like Yamato to be part of the crew but she would be poison to the story since she read "ODEN'S Journal ".... She has tons of insight on what the one piece might be... Anyone else thinking about this???????????

EXACTLY!!! Thank you so much for saying what I’ve always thought. I believe that Yamato will have to accept herself, and more than that in no way as far as I can remember she referred to herself as a male/in a masculine way/pronoun. Unlike Kiki, she never said anything about being a man or whatever. So I think her character development will be more about exploring herself as much as exploring the world, and finding who she really is. Having a role model doesn’t mean becoming THE role model themselves, but learning from their mistakes and their knowledge/experience. And I do hope Oda gives Yamato that much experience and development as the first female character with physical strength, aside from Big Mom ofc.

I remember when people would argue over who should be the next straw hat Yamato or Carrot. And honestly for me I wouldn't mind if they both joined, back then and now since both we liked by the crew. And I think carrot could be useful for the crew.

Even if someone else throws science and facts out the window, i Will Not! I will Stand Up Against Those Who Oppose me like a True D Clan Member!

Man I'm getting goosebumps just hearing you describing how she'd react when she gets on board...

I heard about Yamato from a big KZfaqr (can’t remember who) about her being what Oden was during rogers era, someone who wrote down the history of the journey.

Imagine if Yamato is in One Piece Red as a Strawhat 👀

Gotta wait for Luffy to hit her with the “join my crew” before I feel like it’s official. Superrrrrrr excited to see how it turns out though

LMAO RIP

Id start laughing if ,when luffy wakes up, he says nhaa I'm good 🤣

can you imagine zoro saying, 'hey wanna have a spare with your kanabou with my swords?' that would be awesome asf

🥕 for Strawhat

Well we can already see it coming miles away that Yamato may join the Straw Hats, and Tama probably won't join now because of her new mother (Horsie) 😁. Also i wish and hope for Carrot to join too for a lookout position in the crew 👍.

Yamato is not an official straw hat until luffy agrees

Everyone is saying yamato is stronger than Zoro and sanji... But franky and Jienbi when joined at that time also we felt that they are stronger... Now everyone can see... Monster trio will be remain forever

I had a crazy idea while watching this video that Kaido specifically raised Yamato to join Joy Boy’s crew. Kaido said to King that Joy Boy is the person that’ll be able to defeat him. If Kaido truly believes Joy Boy is coming, which I think it’s very clear he does (especially with his knowledge of the poneglyphs and void century), then he would want to help him. I mean Kaido started off w/ good intentions and at some point along the way he realized he’s not the hero the world is waiting for. One of the big questions w Yamato is why did Kaido raise her and keep her on Wano? Kaido knew Joy Boy would come to liberate it and defeat him. He needed to test Luffy. And, he raised Yamato to be a better version of himself that’s worthy to join Joy Boy’s crew. This may be giving Kaido too much credit, but he knows he’s a bad person. He knows he’s the antithesis of Joy Boy, but that’s not who he wanted to be. Idk it’s at least interesting to think about

I just realized that Oda made such a tragic story from just one sentence of Oars! So epic! First the front page and now this… pure genius

well you're wrong after all

I think Jinbei and Yamato joining in the same arc (physically) is great writing from Oda's part. Jinbei is more on the Nami & Robin side since he acts as a grown up and is now the most mature male on the crew. On the other hand Yamato is a child in heart and brings something new to the female part of the crew. She would be like a female Luffy as I see it at the moment

Yamato will give Oda a way to give Kaido and the Oni race backstory while still moving foward

Oden running out like a child everytime they landed on an island is precious, if Yamato is the same way, I'm gonna cry tears of joy or something.

My thoughts are that Luffy will reject oden joining the crew but will want Yamato to join. He wants his crew members to be true to themselves and for years Yamato has been living through Oden's journal and doing everything in his name as him so to speak. Luffy will want Yamato to start living as themselves and not as Oden and embrace who they are if they want to move forward

Yamato joining was one of the outcomes I wanted... but I'm still holding out hope for Carrot joining. We've got until we leave Wano to get her onto the crew as well. I want my Rabbit Lookout dammit!

0:25 Do I spy with my eye Komi, holding a guitar in the background? If so nice!😆

Thank you for making it clear on Yamato's non-identity. She just wants to be who she aspires to be, it doesn't mean she is a trans.

Luffy - Captian Zoro- Swordsman/ First mate Nami - Navigator Usopp - Sniper Sanji - Chef Chopper - Doctor Robin - Archeologist Franky - Shipwright Brook - Musician Jinbei - Helmsman Yamato - Log recorder Carrot - Scout Vivi - Rider

Super hyped for what's coming next!

Love the way you put her, "the Mini-Kaido" XD

7:47 spot on, bro predicted it.🤣

I wanted Yamato join the mugiwara since her introduction so I am so happy, She is also my personal best girl from One Piece ^^

I like that now Luffy has a third top fighter in the crew, because all Yonkos have 3 of those and now that Luffy more or less is kinda on the Yonko level, it is expected. Also I like that Kaido lost not by being overwhelmed by Luffy's strength, but rather by his decision to tank his attack, it fits the theme of the Yonkos thinking too high of themselves and not taking their enemies seriously to the last moment.

I want to appreciate the quality of your camera Manu. So clear!

I already loved Yamato before this video, but now im just hyped. Yamato is best girl of One Piece. Great Video!

I see Ohara is hinting at taking the "raid will fail" mantle from Mr. Morj since he finally admitted he was wrong 🤣

I can't imagine what Tama was thinking when Yamato made the declaration. Her expression is so blank, that it's hard to say if she had an opinion on it.

Everything is pointing out that Yamato will be the next Straw hat. But I am not that convinced. I truly believe it could be Carrot. She also wanted to see the world and she has already travelled with them, she is competent as a fighter, she already has amazing chemistry with the crew and she also has a position on the ship being the lookout. The only thing she doesn't have is a tragic backstory. Some argue that Pedro's death is her tragic background and we simply saw it live and not on a flashback but I don't know, it doesn't have the same umf as other tragic backstories. Yamato now on the other hand seems TOO perfect of a fit. She was liberated from Luffy (literally since he broke her chains), she is an amazing fighter (arguably as strong or stronger than Zoro judging by her fight with Kaido), she has a really tragic backstory and she has expressed her desire to join them. My problems with her joining the crew? Even though Carrot didn't actually shine in Wano she already has really great chemistry with the crew and she is someone who could fight but not outshine the most prominent fighters (namely the monster trio who somehow even the inclusion of Jimbei didn't change that format). Yamato is too strong and she knows way too much to simply join. She will know more about Luffy and his true dream (none of the other strawhats know of that dream's existence actually) and she is way stronger than Sanji if not Zoro as well. Maybe I'm just being somewhat close minded but having someone join the crew at the end and overshadowing anyone and everyone that we have spent so much time feels a little bit of unfair. I believe the perfect place for Yamato right now is not aboard the Thousand Sunny...but being a part (maybe even a spearhead) of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet. She takes command of the gifters that were turned (and will choose to help them in the future when they are no longer compelled to follow) and she takes to the seas on her own vowing to come to Luffy's aid whenever he might desire. Also, as a last detail, I really believe would ruin the moment a bit if there are two new members during Jimbei's toast. But that is true for either Yamato or Carrot.

Man I've been waiting for this. Now we gotta wait for Luffy's response but if she joins, I'll run around my house for no reason and screaming "Yes"

Lmaooo, this aged well 😂

They have the spirit and nothing holds them back to stay on wano, I love their character so it would be a big plus for me and as you said they are pretty fresh to the world. The writting could really use some of the old adventure spirit back from before marineford.

It's gonna be a few cups of sake with the Boss Luffy in the celebration to add new members. The 1st Sun of the sea, Carrot & Yamato.

Another thing that could add to Yamato joining is that blackboard has catrina Devon who also has mythical dog fruit and transforms. She can change her identity so if they were to fight it would have a theme around it.

Waiting for Carrot to join their crew as well. That sulong form is epic !

One suggestion: you should make a video on brook Dr cause now there are so many debates starting that brook can eat more than one df cause he is already dead but I disagree to this theory

seeing Mano describe how Yamato will mesh with each individual strawhat and the overall point of that in general gets me WAYYY too hype for Yamato joining

I love Yamato so much man, if she didn't join the crew I would've cried

i have a small theory: Catarina devon has the kitsune fruit. and they say that "Kitsune can also be exposed while in human form by their fear and hatred of dogs, and some become so rattled by their presence that they revert to the form of a fox and flee." so my idea is that yamato who has a mythical dog fruit. both are from japanese mythology. and yamato is the only one i can see who can realistically take on catarina devon power wise. (robin is nice and all but we never saw take on anyone with haki)

hey mano its pretty cool but you really created my love for one piece. i never thought i actually wouldve liked op but thanks to you i do. thank you for making these amazing videos

Bro you earned yourself a sub by not caving to these crazy people. Yamato is clearly a freaking girl.

What I'm excited the most is how Oda will choose Yamato's clothing. I can't be the only one right?

At 3:59 notice that Sanji is PUNCHING Zoro even though he vowed to never use his hands to fight lmao

Yamato being a woman, besides the reasons stated in the video which i have been saying from the very begining, was confirmed in the Vivre cards... it was stated that yamato was a woman and kiku was a woman (at heart) too (literally the parenthesis at heart included)... Izo on the other hand is stated to be a man not a woman... It is canon, but it is not impossible for Oda to change it though to be fair... Link to those pages in the replies first row of data is genders circled in red for yamato... Both izo and kiku belong to a family of artists (don't remember the exact name) where the males are taught the ways of the art from a woman's perspective (from the times that only men could perform) but Kiku embraced her femininity while izo did not... He just kept it as an art form... Also this one is not proof but thought to mention it... the mask yamato wears on her first appearance and as a kid is a female demon mask, a Hannya...

mehnnnn watching this video just made me THAT much MORE excited to see her in the crew in the futureeee.. i’m literally anxious to see it now

Imagine brook and Yamato combining their ice attacks

Momonosuke looks like a character from kimetsu no yaiba? Or is it just me?

I'm almost certain luffy is gonna tell her that she can't join right now.

It’d be cool if we got a short flashback arc after the break

bro you git me so hyped up

This is when I ask myself, was Oden a member of rogers crew or just a ride along? It would be really cool if the final crew member was a DF using Giant. 😱

Yamato really is very similar to Luffy. I personally thought she was like a combination of Zoro and Chopper. Zoro's determination, strength, sense of honor/respect, and Choppers gullable and charming loveable personality.

what if zunesha is someone who ate a devil fruit and turned into an elephant , but because of some circumtances wasnt able to transform back

7:58 - you got that right. He is Kozuki Sukiyaki

this isn’t a political argument but I’d like to see luffy reject Yamato at first as Oden but let Yamato aboard if only she confronts who her identity to not be in the shadow of someone else to allow herself room to become her own person and write her own story as Yamato and not Oden

Ohara finally realizing the Oden thing was just a LARP

FINALLY he dropped the "they" for Yamato

I considered Yamato as 10th member,,we cant count Luffy as a member coz hes the Captain of the crew..just sayin 😆😆😆 Cross fingers 🤞🤞🤞, hoping Oda wont break our hearts, coz the hype is building up 😆😆😆

So we have : rubber kid, dude with swords,shinra who cooks, "hot" thief, black liar/God, naked cyborg, Russian mom, a corpse , a furry and tall woman dragon. That's normal 👍

The Strawhats are finally catching up to Black Beard who had his pick of some of the most powerful pirates captured

...the chemstiry with zorro is quite convincing. just imagine them being gym buds in the background woah

Actually it was obvious that Yamato will join the crew, according to the theory about joining to the straw hat crew. And this theory seems quite solid. Like, in the east blue Luffy finds Zoro to be tied up, Nami (woman) is from enemy crew, they meet Usopp while he's standing uphigh and Sanji is simply a women-obsessed pervert. Then in the Grand Line they meet Chopper to be tied up (as reindeer in the sleigh), Robin (woman) as enemy crew member, they meet Frenky while he is standing uphigh and Brook is a woman-obsessed pervert (panties). And here we are, New World. Jinbe is tied up (in chains). I know that Luffy met him in Grand Line but technically he had joint the crew just recently, before the reid it means - New World. And now, according to the theory, the next one to join the crew is a woman from enemy crew. And who would it be, i wonder?)
